Tests tomorrow and National Young Adult Cancer Awareness Week

Tomorrow I have CT scans and other tests that have me a bit nervous.  Your prayers have been heard and yeilded amazing miracles... please keep me in your prayers tonight if you can.  I won't know results until next week when I meet with all of my specialists.  I will let you know as soon as I do. 

Also...this week is National Young Adult Cancer Awareness week.  Did you know that more people between 20-39 die each year from Cancer than all of the other leading causes combined?  Also..most of those deaths are because the cancer is detected when it is too far advanced.  If you have symptoms that you know aren't right...get them checked.  If the dr. dismisses your concern because of your age...get a 2nd opinion.  I sure wish I would have.  Early detection makes a world of difference in treatment.

Whatever information you receive I know you'll do your utmost not to let it dictate how you really feel and what you really feel like doing. We hope and pray for the best news possible!
